Uhm ... I don't think so.
The reinstall will will likely overwrite your existing LILO, which will kill your dual-boot. Should be easy to reaccomplish though.

Yes, but lilo won't get messed up as a result of the install. If you remove linux and then reboot, it will still be there working. It's true you need to set up the dual boot again, but if its set up right now, I assume it won't be that much of a problem to set up again.
